Products Description
Taconic TLX-7 is a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) based high frequency circuit board material that is typically used in combination with glass cloth. This material is favored for its excellent electrical properties in satellite communication PCB applications. Below are some of the key properties and application scenarios for TLX-7:
Product Characteristics of Taconic TLX-7 Satellite Communication PCB
Low Dielectric Constant: TLX-7 has a dielectric constant (Dk) of 2.50, which helps to minimize signal transmission delays and increase communication speeds.
Low Dielectric Loss: Tangent Angle Loss (Df) is 0.0015, which helps reduce signal loss during transmission and improve communication quality.
Excellent Thermal Stability: Has a high glass transition temperature (Tg) of greater than 215°C, which helps maintain stable performance in high-temperature environments.
Low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: Similar to the thermal expansion coefficient of copper foil, which helps to improve the dimensional stability of circuit boards.
Good Mechanical Properties: High flexural strength helps maintain board integrity in a variety of environments.
Application Fields of Taconic TLX-7 Satellite Communication PCB
Satellite Communication: Used to make antennas, power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers and other key components for satellite communication systems.
Radar System: For making antennas, transceiver components, etc. for radar systems.
Microwave Communications: For high-performance circuit boards in microwave communication equipment.
Aerospace: Suitable for electronic equipment in the aerospace field due to its excellent thermal stability and mechanical properties.
Immersion Gold Process:
The immersion gold process is a surface treatment technology that forms a thick layer of nickel-gold on the surface of the PCB, which provides good solderability and oxidation resistance. For satellite communication PCBs, the immersion gold process can bring the following advantages:
Excellent Abrasion and Environmental Erosion Resistance: The gold layer protects the copper layer from oxidation and corrosion, extending the service life of the PCB.
Good Soldering Performance: The gold layer provides excellent soldering performance, which helps to improve soldering quality and reliability.
Low Contact Resistance: The gold layer has low contact resistance, which helps to improve the stability and speed of signal transmission.
The TLX-7 Satellite Communication PCB from Taconic combines the excellent electrical properties of PTFE material with the high reliability of the immersion gold process, making it ideal for satellite communications and other high-performance electronic applications. Design engineers should consider product-specific requirements and application environments when selecting materials and processes to ensure high performance and long-term stability of the final product.
